The Gold-Burg Lady Bears continued their quest to get a win on Tuesday, traveling to Prairie Valley in District 2A-10 action.
However, Gold-Burg found itself on the business end of a straight-set loss 27-25, 25-19, 25-22.
Prairie Valley improved to 5-26 with a 2-10 in 2A-10 while Gold-Burg dropped to 0-25, 0-12.
“This was a very important game for both us and Gold-Burg” said Lady Bulldogs coach Jeannie Carpenter. “We worked very hard leading up to this game, knowing that they were working just as hard.”
Gold-Burg head volleyball coach Lyndsey Shaw chimed in.
“It wasn’t our greatest performance of the season,” she said. “But, it was still very competitive.”
The match certainly started out competitively, with Prairie Valley taking the first set 27-25. Both teams had leads in the second and third sets, but it was the Lady Bulldogs who prevailed in the end.

Published

on

Marty Hilton and his crew with City of Saint Jo Public Works pulled an all nighter repairing an eight-inch water main break along U.S. 82 and Boggess Street. The break was reported around noon on Wednesday. City officials said one of the hardest parts was digging on U.S. 82 and when large trucks would go by the vibrations kept making the walls fall down causing them to be dug out again. The repair was completed at 10:30 a.m. Thursday and the water turned back on. The city is under a boil order until the water tests are complete, which can’t happen until Monday when the lab reopens.

Tawni Ledbetter

Tawni Jones Ledbetter was arrested on July 10 by law officers in Hood County on a warrant for making a false statement to the Texas Alcohol Beverage Commission.
Ledbetter was released from jail on $10,000 bond. While the former owner of The Rack lists Bowie as where she lives, she also remarried earlier this year to a man who resides in Granbury.
The TABC complaint could be handled as a misdemeanor according to the public information office, but additional details were unavailable as of presstime. The PIO indicated it depends on the specific type of case and he did not have the warrant information at the time of the call.
